When Quick Access menu is open, controller input goes to both it and the running game

Apologies if I missed an open issue, I couldn't find one.

Installed bazzite-deck on my HTPC (5600G, nothing fancy) to give it a test before committing to anything and I'm really only running into one strange issue.

When I am in a game in Steam game mode and I open up the Quick Access menu, the inputs are not isolated away from the game. While I'm browsing the Quick Access menu, every button press is also going to the game and causing things to move and happen. My controller in this case is an 8bitdo ultimate controller, the 2.4GHz dongle version and I'm in Xinput mode so Steam just sees an XBox pad.

Weirdly I tested 5 games and 4 experience this issue but one, Crisis Core Reunion, does not. I sanity tested these results against my Steam Deck running stock and this behavior isn't a problem on any games.

Appreciate anyone chiming in if they've seen something like this before 😄 I'm just starting to use this so I'm sure there's something I should be testing that I don't know about.
